Focusing on a practice-oriented approach, this book provides a comprehensive guiding theory applicable to all analytical methods and techniques. It explores analytical signals and their dependencies, discussing key figures of merit like sensitivity, precision, accuracy, and ruggedness. Additionally, it incorporates elements of signal theory, information theory, statistics, and calibration fundamentals. The metrological foundations established in the text aim to clarify and define these figures of merit, addressing common confusions found in current Analytical Chemistry literature.

Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry are usually presented as a sum of chemical and physical foundations, laws, axioms and equations for analytical methods and procedures. In contrast, this book delivers a practice-oriented, general guiding theory valid for all methods and techniques. The metrological foundations included define strictly the figures of merit in order to minimize confusions still appearing in Analytical Chemistry publications today.
